Listen to 'Voice' Star Jacquie Lee's Haunting Acoustic Version of "Broken Ones," Only on Teen Vogue

Get ready to be even more obsessed.

If you own a TV, there's no way you could flip through the channels last year without hearing something about The Voice's Season Five runner-up, Jacquie Lee. The New Jersey native may not have won the actual competition, but her insane talent made her music career skyrocket before the show even ended. After getting signed and releasing her first single, "Broken Ones" (we have the exclusive acoustic version below!), she's truly living her dream. But that doesn't mean it was always easy.

After realizing she had a passion for singing, Jacquie started performing at local fairs and contests. Even though she was shy, singing was the one thing that brought her out of her shell—being up on stage in front of a whole crowd of people didn't actually scare her at all. So she decided to go for the big leagues. "I tried out for The X-Factor a couple years before I tried out for The Voice. I waited in line overnight in the rain for two days. It was a nightmare," Jacquie says. "I got through the first producer audition round, and they told me to come back when I didn't have braces."

After that, who can blame her for being nervous about trying again? "It had been a couple years, but I knew I had to go for it. I tried out, and I wasn't expecting anything—I went in there and I sang." Obviously things worked out pretty well, and America fell in love with the then-16-year-old. But once the tears were shed and the cameras stopped rolling, the reality of going back to her normal life set in. "After The Voice, there was this overwhelming feeling of 'Oh god, I'm on my own,'" Jacquie says. "When you're on the show and you're doing your thing, you know you're going to get somewhere because you're on the number one TV show in America. You're getting new followers and new fans, you're seeing superstars every week. But once you go off the show, you're in the real world again. I imagine it's sort of like getting out of college and being like, 'Oh crap, what do I do now?'"

Of course, Jacquie's not your average newbie on the job market, and it wasn't long before she was flooded with calls from labels wanting to work with her. Smart girl that she is, she didn't want to settle for just anyone. And after finding a lawyer with her mom and building a foundation for her career, she decided Atlantic Records was the perfect fit. "It's been an awesome year," Jacquie says. "Not many people my age get to say that they're signed by a huge record label."

So, what's next for Jacquie? As if going on a summer tour with The Voice isn't enough, she's also working really hard on her debut album, which she's planning to release early next year. "I'm definitely writing way more of my own music and getting better at instruments," she says. "I play piano, but I really need to learn more guitar chords. I'm just working really hard to be my own person and my own artist."
